We had several thunderstorms this week and the sky, after each storm, was magnificent.

Canton Cup with Tea Caddy and Hydrangeas

As promised, here is my estate sale find (the tea caddy) with fresh hydrangeas and a handleless Canton cup. While doing research on Canton china, I learned that George Washington loved blue and white Canton. How about that?

TEA TIME circa 1750

Went to a yard sale this morning. There I found several fabulous photography books (staples actually, when it comes to learning photography and excellent reference books for any photographer). I asked who the photographer in the household was and found out that the lady living there had just purchased a camera and wanted to learn photography. When I asked why she was getting rid of these books, she said. " I looked through them--don't want them." Oh my, she was selling some of the best, most informative books ever published.

Well, you guessed it...I brought the books home. After a quick read through, they will either stay in my library, or be passed on to a serious student. There is always more to learn. What a find!

One of the books contains several assignment sheets--a terrific jumping off place--ideas galore. Having a theme, can be the incentive for heading out to shoot.

Since I am driven by the lure of the perfect photograph, I am flabbergasted when others aren't as driven as I am to learn and do. I know I am obsessed. yet, that obsession is what keeps me going. Without a passion, life would be grey and boring. I sincerely hope everyone has at least one passion--a driving force in their life and that that woman has duplicate copies of these books tucked away somewhere.

Found some props at an estate sale yesterday. Today I will (hopefully) create a still life setup and/or work on an altered art project using what I found. I will post the results.

A couple of days ago, in the evening, the sky went pink and lavender. So...out the door I went. What an amazing sight...I am continually amazed by the originality of Creator.
